Hmm it’s not a lack of due diligence, fifa are randomly quite good at it.

These bids are a smokescreen, the due diligence and review of bids is very thorough, then the nations bid for whoever’s paid them the most and it’s decided.

I remember I read the report for the South Africa bidding process as a student (review of mega projects- olympics world cups and similar). All the bids are scored and there’s multiple rounds, you can see where the corruption happens - best bid is winning one round and next round the bid that scraped through wins by a landslide.

That's interesting. Do they take the history of workers' rights into account behind the scenes? Because from the outside it seems like they mostly focus on whether the project can be done, rather than how it will actually be achieved

Good thing they don’t take historical workers rights into account as the US would have no chance of hosting the tournament ay!
